The expenses in the above table reflect a written agreement by MML Advisers to cap the fees and expenses of the Fund (other than extraordinary litigation and legal expenses, Acquired Fund fees and expenses, interest
expense, short sale dividend and loan expense, or other non-recurring or unusual expenses such as, for example, organizational expenses and shareholder meeting expenses) through January 31, 2016, to the extent that Total Annual Fund Operating
Expenses after Expense Reimbursement would otherwise exceed .60%, .70%, .80%, .90%, 1.15%, 1.05%, and 1.30% for Classes I, R5, Service, Administrative, A, R4, and R3, respectively. The Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses after Expense Reimbursement
shown in the above table may exceed these amounts, because, as noted in the previous sentence, certain fees and expenses are excluded from the cap. The agreement can only be terminated by mutual consent of the Board of Trustees on behalf of the Fund
and MML Advisers.

S-1
Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. It assumes that you invest
$10,000 in each share class of the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. For Class A shares, the example includes the initial sales charge. The example also assumes that your investment
earns a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are exactly as described in the preceding table. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The
Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are
held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 150% of the
average value of its portfolio.
INVESTMENTS, RISKS, AND PERFORMANCE
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund invests
primarily in common stocks of companies with varying market capitalizations that the Fund’s subadviser,
OFI Global Institutional, Inc.
(“OFI Global”), believes are undervalued in the marketplace. While the Fund does not limit
its investments to issuers in a particular capitalization range, OFI Global currently focuses on securities of larger size companies. The Fund typically invests most of its assets in equity securities of U.S. companies, but may invest in foreign
securities, including emerging market securities. Equity securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common or preferred stock, rights, and warrants. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in
foreign securities of companies or governments in any country, including developed and emerging countries. The Fund may invest up to 10%
of its net assets in debt securities. The Fund may purchase and sell exchange-traded and over-the-counter options for hedging purposes or to take long or short positions on one or more equity
securities. Use of derivatives by the Fund may create investment leverage. The Fund may hold a portion of its assets in cash or cash equivalents.
OFI
Global typically employs a
bottom-up
approach in selecting securities for the Fund, using fundamental analysis to select securities that it believes are undervalued. While this process may change over time and
vary in particular cases, OFI Global generally may consider a variety of factors in evaluating a company, such as attractive valuation, future supply/demand for key products, product cycles, quality of management, competitive position, cash
reinvestment plans, and better-than-expected earnings reports. OFI Global may consider selling a security if, for example, in OFI Global’s judgment, the stock’s price is approaching its target, the company’s fundamentals are
deteriorating, or more attractive alternative investment ideas have been identified.
The Fund expects that it will engage in active and frequent trading
and so will typically have a relatively high portfolio turnover rate.
Principal Risks
The following are the Principal Risks of the Fund. You have the potential to make money by investing in the Fund, but you can also lose money.
Cash Position Risk
The ability of the Fund to meet its objective may be limited to the extent that it holds assets in cash or otherwise
uninvested.
Convertible Securities Risk
Convertible securities are subject to the risks of both debt securities and equity securities.
The values of convertible securities tend to decline as interest rates rise and, due to the conversion feature, tend to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying common or preferred stock.
Credit Risk
The Fund is subject to the risk that the issuer of an investment held by the Fund or the counterparty to a transaction entered
into by the Fund will be unable or unwilling to honor its obligations.
Derivatives Risk
Derivatives involve risks different from, and
potentially greater than, direct investments, including risks of imperfect correlation between the value of derivatives and underlying assets,
S-2
counterparty default, potential losses that partially or completely offset gains, and illiquidity. Derivatives can create investment leverage and be highly volatile. Derivatives may result in
losses greater than the amount invested. If the value of a derivative does not correlate well with the particular market or asset class the derivative is designed to provide exposure to, the derivative may not have the effect anticipated. Many
derivatives are traded in the over-the-counter market and not on exchanges.
Fixed Income Securities Risk
The values of fixed income
securities typically will decline during periods of rising interest rates, and can also decline in response to changes in the financial condition of the issuer, borrower, counterparty, or underlying collateral assets, or changes in market, economic,
industry, political, and regulatory conditions affecting a particular type of security or issuer or fixed income securities generally. Fixed income securities are subject to interest rate risk (the risk that the value of a fixed income security will
fall when interest rates rise), extension risk (the risk that the average life of a security will be extended through a slowing of principal payments), prepayment risk (the risk that a security will be prepaid and the Fund will be required to
reinvest at a less favorable rate), and credit risk.
Foreign Investment Risk; Emerging Markets Risk; Currency Risk
Foreign securities are
subject to additional risks compared to securities of U.S. issuers, including international trade, currency, political, regulatory, and diplomatic risks. In addition, fluctuations in currency exchange rates may adversely affect the values of foreign
securities and the price of the Fund’s shares. Emerging markets securities are subject to greater risks than securities issued in developed foreign markets, including less liquidity, greater price volatility, higher relative rates of inflation,
greater political, economic, and social instability, greater custody and operational risks, and greater volatility in currency exchange rates.
Frequent Trading/Portfolio Turnover Risk
Portfolio turnover generally involves some expense to the Fund and may result in the realization of
taxable capital gains (including short-term goals). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Fund’s performance.
Liquidity Risk
Certain securities may be difficult (or impossible) to sell or positions difficult to close out at a desirable time and
price, and the Fund may be
required to hold an investment that is declining in value or be prevented from realizing capital gains.
Management Risk
The Fund relies on the manager’s ability to achieve its investment objective. There can be no assurance that the Fund will
achieve the desired results and the Fund may incur significant losses.
Market Risk
The value of the Fund’s portfolio securities may
decline, at times sharply and unpredictably, as a result of unfavorable market-induced changes affecting particular industries, sectors, or issuers. Stock market prices in general may decline over short or extended periods, subjecting the Fund to
unpredictable declines in the value of its shares and poor performance. The Fund is subject to risks affecting issuers, such as management performance, financial leverage, industry problems, and reduced demand for goods or services.
Preferred Stock Risk
Preferred stocks are subject to the risks associated with other types of equity securities, as well as additional
risks, such as potentially greater volatility and risks related to deferral,
non-cumulative
dividends, subordination, liquidity, limited voting rights, and special redemption rights.
Smaller and
Mid-Cap
Company Risk
Market risk and liquidity risk are particularly pronounced for
securities of smaller companies, which may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than more widely-held securities, and may fluctuate in price more than other securities. Smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets, or financial
resources and may be dependent on a limited management group; they may have been recently organized and have little or no track record of success.
Valuation Risk
The Fund is subject to the risk of mispricing or improper valuation of its investments, in particular to the extent that its
securities are fair valued.
Value Company Risk
The value investment approach entails the risk that the market will not recognize a
security’s intrinsic value for a long time, or that a stock judged to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced.
Performance
Information
The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar
S-3
chart shows changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year for Administrative Class shares. The table shows how the Fund’s average annual returns for 1, 5, and 10 years compare
with those of a broad measure of market performance (Russell 1000
®
Value Index) and an additional index that provides a comparison for the Fund’s returns without regard to investment
style. Performance for Class R5, Service Class, Class A, and Class R3 shares of the Fund for periods prior to their inception date (11/01/04) is based on the performance of Administrative Class shares, adjusted for Class A and Class R3 shares
to reflect Class A and Class R3 expenses, respectively, and for Class A shares to reflect any applicable sales charge. Performance for Class I and Class R4 shares of the Fund for periods prior to their inception date (04/01/14) is based on the
performance of Class R5 shares, adjusted for Class R4 shares to reflect Class R4 expenses. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. More

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect
the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as
401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns are shown for Administrative Class only. After-tax returns for other classes will vary.
